we could get late day snow again tomorrow night and early sunday. that could give us some light accumulation. that will be another clipper system and into early next week, it stays a little unsettled each day. we get a chance of a few snow showers or snow flurries. the pattern a little bit active for the next couple of days. >> thank you, mr. barnes. we are joined by dave ross for this edition of ask tope and tucker which is what it is time for. i kind of backed into that one. >> this is our next to last chance to talk football which we've been doing during the break. we have today and then monday, the day after the super bowl. we are squeezing in another football question. this is the segment tucker and

i, blah, blah, blah. who is running in. >> bring the prompter back. whoever is running, it leave it alone. who is doing this? >> the not me doing it. >> okay. this question comes from deanna williams. she ans, i know the super bowl venues are set up ahead of time but has there been a time when a tomorrow won their division and laid at their home stadium. would way -- what would the nfl do. one, it has never happened. we've never hay team who won the afc or nfc represent their conference in their home state. >> i feel like the 49ers played at stanford. >> yes, pasadena. they are always predetermined. they would not change the venue.

if it was new orleans this year, they would have played in the new orleans super dome. tickets are allocated equally t wouldn't be like a home field advantage per se other than they play eight game a year at that place. >> in any given year, the tickets are allocated equally as you said but sometimes, some years, it depends on fans selling their tickets. for example, the redskins' first super bowl win in '83 out in california -- was that pasadena? >> i don't think it was pasadena. where was it? wherever it was. i remember the announcer at one point saying this is like rfk west because so many redskin fans were out there and it made it kind of feel like home field. >> i've been reading for this particular super bowl, the ravens fans are outbuying the 49ers fans 2-1. >> that would be your home field advantage right there. next year, super bowl is in new

york city. and i heard a couple of giants chirping that they were they would like to be the first team to actually do this and play in met life stadium in new york city. it could happen. >> it could happen. >> a couple of years ago, when the cowboys first opened up their new stadium, that was the big hope that jerry jones had. and at the beginning of the season, there was some reason to believe they might be able to do this. the hopes came crashing down, of course. >> the hosting team gets some of the tickets, right, so they would -- that's correct. are you talking about the host city, like new orleans. >> the new orleans team gets some of the tickets. >> everybody gets some. >> we know the redskins are actually down there right now. london fletcher is down there right now. >> you do have a couple of those scenarios. but i think it will happen in our lifetime. i think it is bound to happen sometime. but some of the places like pasadena at the rose bowl, they don't have pro teams so not all of the venues actually have teams. >> are you going to give your

prediction real quick? >> yeah. unlike wisdom, i will give a prediction and i'm in the just saying this because i want this to happen. first of all, i like both teams. i think they are both very good. it has the possibility to be a real good game. i think the baltimore ravens win 27-20. >> tucker barnes. >> okay, real quick. i want to thank defend for once again picking against the ravens because that assures a super bowl victory for my team. yes, i love t ravens 23, 49ers 17. it will be a very close game. >> i've got 27-20 san francisco. >> i'm actually rooting for baltimore. i just think san francisco is the better team in my humble opinion. >> so were the patriots and broncos. >> that is i good point. >> brenda rector wrote any football question the other day and we are thinking she must be a dallas fan based on the question. >> yeah. >> she wrote in. she is a dallas fan. >> you could just tell by the

tone. >> yes, you could. >> if you have a question you want answered, go to myfoxdc.com and click on the weather tab. >> the next question i think tomorrow is why doesn't wisdom ever make a prediction. >> what is up with wisdom. >> before we go to julie, we have a picture of julie and i playing out in the snow. moments ago. >> both of you doing your best model pose. >> i don't know what is fog on with that picture. >> i'm going why the heck am i out here. >> julie looks okay with that. today in new york is really scary. >> that is my victoria's secret, i'm thin, haven't eaten anything. that is that look and i'm cold. eastbound on the freeway, let's get to the construction. change in the traffic pattern here now. traffic diverted on to the eastbound freeway. from there you can go north or south. all part of the 11th street bridge project. snow is falling and we just showed you here in northwest washington we are starting to see some accumulations of that

on the grassy areas and here is the live shot coming south off of 270678 the roadways for the most part look wet but those grassy areas, those ramps and overpasses, the areas less traveled, starting to so a light coating of snow. watch your speed s as start to get slick out her on the highway. colesville road as it crosses over 270, starting to see the light accumulation of snow on the left and right side. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. e traffic. >> thank you. ahead at 7:00, it is not ideal golfing weather but that is not stopping thousands of people from getting ready to hit the green. >> the washington golf show is back and our holly morris takes us on a trip back in time with a look at how the game has changed over the years. a preview is coming up next.
